Apparently, a group of pyramids is said to have been discovered in Bosnia which are even greater than the pyramids of Egypt. Quite cool if you ask me.

    Hmmmm not convinced I'm afraid. There's quite a lot of hills that have pointy tops on them, and tunnel networks.
    The tunnels could also be a hoax, or old mining shafts...
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    What I don't like about US news programmes is the complete lack of partiality you get on some. As alot of people pretty much take their knowledge of the world around them from these channels it's pretty dangerous.

    Even CNN. They try to be impartial but tend to come over as a bit liberal (perhaps as an antidote to the nonsense that is Fox news)

    I think its just the tone of voice and accent, they always seem to sound like they're talking to children. Probably just differences in the accents, i dunno.

    Edit: on a second note, it looks more like natural occurences to me, mass movement within the mountain contributing to the "tunnels" by opening up and widening existing faults and joints, and the flat brick like rock looks like crumbled bedding plane to me.

    I would boil that down to the accent completely. When i first moved to England I always thought the same and that everyone was always serious because of the different accent, but soon learned otherwise.
